Chapter 245: I Miss You So Much

...

"Damn it! You little brat tricked me! Why didn't you say it earlier?" Flender held Zeng Yi by the neck, shaking him vigorously and questioning furiously.

"Who knew you were so hotheaded? I hadn't finished speaking, and you already acted like that. Blame me?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes at Flender.

Xue Qinghe stood quietly by the side, watching Zeng Yi and Flender discussing themselves. He couldn't help but find it amusing. Although the two were speaking in low voices, everyone present, except for Zeng Yi, had the strength of at least a Spirit King level or higher and could naturally hear what they were saying.

Zeng Yi patted Flender's shoulder and said, "He is here to apologize for the previous incident, not to create trouble. Be polite."

"But will he not mind my previous rudeness?" Flender was still somewhat trembling with fear.

"Don't worry, he is not as petty as you. He is quite generous." Zeng Yi gave Flender a reassuring look.

"Why do I feel like you are scolding me?" Flender glanced at Zeng Yi.

Don't worry! I am scolding you! Seeing the unfriendly look from Flender, Zeng Yi muttered in his heart.

Flender quickly adjusted his emotions, straightened his messy clothes, walked towards Xue Qinghe with a solemn expression, placed his right hand on his chest, slightly bowed, and said, "Please forgive my rudeness, Your Highness."

Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "It's alright, Dean Flender. It is only natural to feel angry and humiliated after what happened at the Shrek Academy. I understand. It's just that I wasn't present at that time; otherwise, such a thing would never have happened. After knowing about this matter, I feel guilty and should come to apologize to Dean Flender."

Xue Qinghe's gentle and elegant attitude, along with his gentle words, instantly lifted Flender's mood. He truly deserved to be a crown prince; his magnanimity was unmatched.

Flender pretended to be frightened and said, "Your Highness, these are trivial matters. I had long forgotten about them, so there is no need for you to apologize."

Seeing Flender acting shamelessly, Zeng Yi couldn't help but despise him. Where did his momentum from earlier go?

Xue Qinghe chuckled and said, "Dean Flender, there is no need to be humble. I am well aware of the situation in my own academy."

The conversation continued for a while in the office, and then Flender went to inform the former members of Shrek Academy about Zeng Yi's return and the good news.

After about half an hour, the former Shrek Academy's teachers, as well as the Shrek Seven Devils, um, it should be the Shrek Six Devils since Tang San wasn't here.

These people were all gathered by Flender.

With puzzled expressions, the group suddenly found themselves gathered together by Flender, wondering what he wanted.

Oscar patted Ma Hongjun's big belly, his closest senior disciple, and asked, "Fatty, do you know why Dean called us together all of a sudden?"

"How would I know?" Ma Hong Jun said.

After a while, Flender appeared in front of everyone.

"Hehehe, I want to tell you all some good news. Can you guess what it is?" Flender stood in front of everyone and deliberately teased them.

"Dean, if you have something to say, please say it quickly. I still want to cultivate!" Just as everyone was contemplating, a cold voice resounded among the crowd. Looking in the direction of the voice, it was Zhu Zhuqing who spoke.

She stood quietly, hands crossed in front of her chest, her fair and beautiful face showing no emotions. However, a trace of impatience flickered in her autumn-like eyes.

In an instant, the atmosphere became awkward.

Watching her, Flender's corner of the eye twitched, showing some helplessness.

Since Zeng Yi had an accident, she had become even more silent than before. Every day, she would practice diligently the swordsmanship taught by Zeng Yi, almost to the point of madness. Flender knew that she was blaming herself, and in her silent and withdrawn state, she could only numb herself in this way.

After hearing the news that Zeng Yi was fine, her mental state had improved a lot, and she started interacting with her classmates again, no longer isolating herself. However, she never stopped her training, still exercising herself almost frantically, cultivating her Spirit power and swordsmanship.

But the results were remarkable. Now, all the Shrek Seven Devils had reached the rank of Spirit Elder, but the only ones who could compare with Zhu Zhuqing were Tang San and Dai Mubai, who had a much higher Spirit power level than her. Yes, even Xiao Wu, who had advanced to the rank of Spirit Elder before her, was no match for her.

Xiao Wu's agility couldn't stand a chance against Zhu Zhuqing's swordsmanship; she was completely suppressed and lasted even less time than Ma Hong Jun did against Zhu Zhuqing.

Can't you give Dean a little face!

Since Zeng Yi came to Shrek Academy and influenced other students, Flender lost his status as the academy's headmaster.

Flender felt helpless and skipped the guessing game. He said, "Zeng Yi, come out."

As soon as Flender mentioned Zeng Yi's name, the expressions of the others instantly became lively.

Suddenly, a gust of wind brushed everyone's cheeks, and a figure suddenly appeared beside Flender.

The person was dressed in a blue robe, with long hair tied up, gently swaying in the breeze. A long sword and a wooden sword hung at his waist, and a gentle smile hung on his face as he looked at everyone, extending a palm and waving it gently.

"Long time no see, everyone."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the familiar figure in a daze, her pink lips slightly opened, whispering to herself, and her heart was instantly filled with waves of shock and emotion. Various emotions surfaced within her.

A teardrop silently rolled down her exquisite and fair cheek, falling onto the cobblestone floor.

Unable to control her emotions, she took a small step forward. She wanted to rush over and hold that figure tightly in her arms.

"Yi-ge! I missed you so much!"

With an excited shout, a figure quickly rushed towards Zeng Yi and tightly hugged him.

"Damn it! Fatso, let go quickly, do you want to break my waist?"
